Vegan Caramel Crunch Bars

* This post is sponsored by Nature's Charm* These vegan caramel crunch bars are one of my favourite creations so far this year! So easy to make, only call for a few ingredients and they taste divine! I know I'm being biased...but these bare are AMAZING!! A crunchy chocolate base, topped with a decadent caramel and drizzled with dark chocolate. That first bite tastes like heaven! And the best part about these bars is that you only need 6 ingredients to make them! Oh and did I mention these bars are completely vegan and gluten-free?

5-Ingredient Chocolate Filled Cookie Cups

5-Ingredient Chocolate Filled Cookie Cups

Yummy no-bake cups filled with lush chocolate spread. These 5-ingredient chocolate filled cookie cups are so easy to make and so indulgent! Quick and easy recipes with few ingredients has become my thing! I personally prefer making recipes that take no time at all to make. I try to use healthier ingredients, but every now and then I like to indulge in a not-so-healthy treat because I hate the idea of restricting my diet and not enjoying food and life! It's been a really difficult year for everyone and we're all looking for small comforts to make our days feel less stressful. Making an easy treat like these chocolate cups can be very therapeutic - good for both the mind [...]

Caramel Chocolate Doughnut Cookies

Caramel Chocolate Doughnut Cookies

A fun recipe using silicon doughnut moulds. These caramel chocolate doughnut cookies are a fun take on Twix bars and made with healthier ingredients! Twix meets doughnuts! A doughnut shaped biscuits (aka cookie) with a layer of caramel all dipped in chocolate. The crunchy biscuit with the sweet caramel goes so well with the bitter dark chocolate coating and there's just a pinch of salt in the caramel to help intensify the flavour. All topped with a drizzle of caramel and crunchy nuts to make it look super pretty. I've made a couple of doughnut shaped desserts in the past that aren't actually doughnuts. I do love the idea of using doughnut silicon moulds to make something more creative and [...]

Chocolate Covered Tahini Cookies

Chocolate Covered Tahini Cookies

Crunchy sweet cookies dipped in dark chocolate...I can't imagine anything better than these chocolate covered tahini cookies! There is no question in my mind that crunchy cookies (aka biscuits as we refer to them here in the UK) always win over soft ones as far as I'm concerned. There is just something so so SO satisfying about digging your teeth into a hard cookie and hearing that crunch. So good! What makes a cookie even better is dipping it in chocolate. It takes it to a whole new level and makes something delicious even more so! I used my tahini cardamom cookie recipe, used a smaller cookie cutter, dipped it in chocolate and drizzled some more tahini on top for [...]

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Bars

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Bars

* This post is sponsored by The Protein Works* A yummy post-workout snack that tastes like a dessert! These vegan salted caramel chocolate protein bars are no-bake and really easy to put together! Sometimes I love to snack on protein bars instead of a dessert to try to bump up my protein intake in between meals. Especially on days where I haven't been able to prepare/eat well rounded meals and feel my protein intake has been on the low side. I used to regularly stock up vegan protein bars to have in my cupboard for a rainy day or to take with me on the go, but they can be really expensive, especially considering how easy they are to make [...]

Protein Cookie Dough Cups

Protein Cookie Dough Cups

* This post is sponsored by Juice Plus+* An easy snack that requires few ingredients and steps - these protein cookie dough cups are no-bake and super tasty! I’ve always loved adding protein powder to my treats and snacks as you can easily bump up the nutrient content. Sweetened protein powders also add lots of flavour without having to add too much sweetener or not needing to add any at all! It’s a great alternative to flour in baking, but I prefer to use it in no-bake recipes as I feel the taste comes through a lot better. I created this recipe using Complete Vanilla Shake by Juice Plus+®, which is completely vegan and dairy-free. High in protein with some healthy [...]

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

These vegan chocolate oat cups are the perfect quarantine indulgent sweet treat made with healthier ingredients like oats and tahini! An oaty layer, with a creamy and fudgy chocolatey centre and an oaty topping. I based this recipe on my chocolate tahini oat bars, which is one of the popular recipes on my blog. I think that's down to the fact that they're so easy to make, no-bake and include healthier ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I've changed around the quantities a little, but the main difference is that they're shaped into cups rather than bars. I halved the recipe because I'm in isolation with my partner and didn't want to make the full recipe and risk [...]
